Motion Sensitivity
Motion sensitivity allows you to adjust how sensitive the motion detection will be for your camera. This is based off a minimum and maximum value ranging between 1, having the least amount of sensitivity, and 6 being the max. The default sensitivity level will be 3. This is the optimal sensitivity level as it can reduce the level of flase motion events while still providing the most accurate detection of your events.

The lower the sensitivity value is on your camera the more activity the sensors need to retain an event or send a push notification. It is highly recommended  to leave the sensitivity at 3  however, if  you  make  any adjustements be sure  to  tap on the blue check  mark ( )to save  the  motion sensitivity setting.
Setting Motion Detection Zones

Troubleshooting

Installing Without an Existing Chime System?
The Amcrest Wi-Fi doorbell requires a 16V~24V AC power connection to function. If new wiring is being installed for your doorbell a third party transformer with 16V~30Va would be efficient to use for installation.
Amcrest does not currently sell its own brand of transformers for the doorbell.
The Amcrest Wi-Fi doorbell does not require a chime to function as long as adequate voltage is being applied to the device. Please note, the Amcrest WiFi doorbell also does not require any special resistors and/or diodes to function. It is highly recommended to consult an electrician to establish a proper wired electrical connection for your doorbell if existing wiring is not available.
If you are installing the doorbell without an existing wiring or chime system, a high voltage power adapter (18V, 800mA) can be used to power your device if a wall socket is available. If you are attempting to power the device with a high voltage power adapter, and a chime system is in place during installation, please note that only the doorbell will be usable since the power adapter will not supply adequate voltage to your mechanical or digital chime.
When activated the physical doorbell will chime when pressed via its built-in speaker and a push notification will be sent to your smartphone via the Amcrest Smart Home app allowing you to use your doorbell without existing wiring.

Why is My Chime Constantly Ringing?
If you have a constantly ringing doorbell, this could be due to the improper voltage due to either a wire short or a fluctuation in the chime system. If your chime is constantly ringing after setup, please ensure the included chime kit (power kit) is properly connected to your existing chime. This will help to regulate the voltage from the chime to the doorbell ensuring proper voltage is being supplied to the chime.
If the chime kit is properly installed to your chime and it is still consistently ringing there may be a wire short somewhere in the system. Make sure to turn the breaker off to your doorbell and check that all wiring is correctly attached to your chime (i.e. the Front and Trans terminals) and that there is no impedence between the transformer and your chime system. If all wiring is properly verified, turn the breaker back on and ensure the problem is resolved. Also, it is good pratice to ensure adequate voltage is being supplied to the doorbell and chime system. Use a volt meter to check the voltage to the doorbell as well as the chime system. The proper voltage should range from 16~24V AC and should not have random fluctuations. For more information on issues related to your doorbell, please visit: https:amcrest.com/doorbellsetup

Why Can’t People Hear Me When I Answer a Call?
If you are using the Amcrest Smart Home app on a iOs or Android, go to your settings option on your mobile device and locate the Amcrest Smart Home app. Tap on the app to select it and make sure the microphone toggle for the app is enabled. If the microphone toggle switch for the app is disabled, no one will hear you since the microphone option is disabled on the phone side. If you do not see the microphone option in your smartphone settings, it is recommended to uninstall and reinstall the Amcrest Smart Home app. Please make sure to enable all permissions, including audio, for the app after install is complete.

Unable to Locate an SSID?
If you are having issues obtaining an SSID when adding your device into the Amcrest Smart Home app there may be a miscommunication happening between the app and your mobile device. This appears to be a more common situation among iOS users and we are currently working with Apple to device a solution. There is an easy fix you can use to resolve the issue. For more information on how to resolve this issue, please refer to the information provided below.
If the SSID for your Wi-Fi network is not pulling up in the app when attempting to add your Amcrest Smart Home device, close the app completely then power your mobile device off and back on again allowing it to restart.
Once your mobile device has finished restarting, ensure your mobile device is connected to the proper Wi-Fi network, open the Amcrest Smart Home app and continue to add your device as normal. The SSID for your network should populate allowing you to complete the setup process.
